New Front In Common Core Wars

New Front In Common Core Wars

Testing contracts have provided an open battleground for the debate over Obama's Common Core Initiative.

The prized initiative by the Obama administration, has resulted in a multi-layered debate, and revolt from teachers and parents in both political wings.

The new front in this ongoing war is over shared testing.

Frederick Hess, writer for the American Enterprise Institute, gives an update on the ongoing debate, and sets listeners straight about the Common Core.

He explains that states are defecting from the initiative, due to the fact that teachers are being forced to give tests on material they may not have covered or are prepared to cover. The obvious result is frustration and outrage.
